To the Depth of Abyss
Chapter 16: Boss Area Drop Item

"Sigh!"

Ars sat leaning against a tree root of Leaf Wood, resting to restore his strength after the immense battle.

Close to his position, Killer Bee's corpse turned into a process called, [Crystalized].

[Crystalized is a crystallization process that occurs when defeated Abyssal monsters. After crystallizing, the Abyssal monster's body will turn into crystal particles like trinkets and fly up into the sky.]

That was not the first time Ars has seen the crystallization process. But that time a question arose in his head.

"Will the particles return to where they came from?"

[Thousand Layer Rainbow Horizon]

[Wall lining from Abyssal Terra. Covers Prohibited Border and Ceilings.]

[Thousand Layer Rainbow Horizon] is like a 4-dimensional decorative wall. The wall of the dungeon hole that held all the participating Hunters.

"Huuuhhh."

The longer Ars spent in that hole, the more he curious about Abyssal mysteries.

But for now, he must quickly go out from the depths of the forest.

[Item drops dropped after Killer Bee's crystallization process ended.]

Ars could see that there are eight large blocks of flesh. In the middle of those eight large blocks, there are another several items. Those items must be the ones his hiding-comrades mentioned earlier.

[Eyes of the Dragon - Value Scanner: Activated]

"Tf!?"

Suddenly, [Eyes of the Dragon] which Ars hasn't disabled works automatically.

So yeah, Ars almost forgot somehow [Eyes of the Dragon] got leveled up.

Like [Unlimited Inventory], [Value Scanner Mode] brought up a 2d hologram visual screen, but this time its function is to identify valuable objects in Ars' vision.

[King Bear Skin Cloak = 4000 ABC]

[100kg King Bear Meat = 300 ABC]

[Cutthroat Gauntlet = 2000 ABC]

Ars got all the items mentioned. Not only that, the total amount of money generated is most likely over 10k ABC.

"Wooooooooooooohhoooooooo! I'm rich!"

Apart from all those items, there are two unspecified item types dropped. Five black swords stuck around the King Bear Skin Cloak. Then there is the fur - which is most likely Killer Bee's skin - piled up like a wad of cloth.

"Wow, black sword!" Ars kept that one sword to [Unlimited Inventory]. "Oi-oi!"

Shockingly, that one sword filled 1/5 of the [Unlimited Inventory] space.

"This one sword is stronger than Yin's sword?!"

[Item: Bear Beast Blade]

[View Info - Object # 0156: A sword that has the same strength as the Bear Beast Claw]

[Rarity: Rare]

No wonder the sword reminded Ars of the Bear Beast claw.

[Bear Beast Blade = 999 ABC]

"Tf, 999?!"

The price of the Bear Beast Blade is half of the Cutthroat' Gauntlet.

However, because Ars has 5 Bear Beast Blades, that means the Bear Beast Blade can be more useful than the Cutthroat Gauntlet in terms of endurance. Plus, Ars is more accustomed to swords than using martial arts in combat.

[10kg Killer Bee Leather: 1000 ABC]

"Leather, huh?"

Surely the item is a raw material that must go through further process.

[Item: Cutthroat Gauntlet]

[View Info - Object # 0162: A gauntlet that has the same power as Killer Bee itself]

[Rarity: Rare]

"Its rarity is also rare, hm."

[Item: King Bear Skin Cloak]

[View Info - Object # 0163: The cloak proves that the wearer has conquered one of the three kings of the forest]

[Rarity: Super Rare]

"SR! Plus, one of the three forest kings?"

There are more questions that Ars wants to replace out.

"Now, how many rows and columns will it take to store 100kg of this block of meat?"

Ten rows and ten columns. The amount is the same as that needed to store one Yin's sword.

"Hmm." That made Ars wonder. "Does the space requirement factor that needed indeed is the amount of life energy of the object itself? Or the mana? The weight?"

[Unlimited Inventory] does not have a manual. So it is with [Eyes of the Dragon]. The two cheats Ars had from the start, Ars mastered them by himself.

"Whatever it is, now I'm rich! Ngehahahahahaha!" Ars evil laugh came out again. "Now, how do I replace a way back?"

Ars did not know how far he dived into the depths of the forest. It's not like when he was hunting Bear Beast. He couldn't even determine the direction of the wind because he couldn't see the sky.

"The sky?"

An idea that never thought of finally landed in to his head.

The average height of each Giant Leaf Woods tree is 50 meters. Each tree has 7 to 8 large branches reaching upward.

Ars already at the top of the Giant Leaf Woods. From there he could see the sky was turning orange, which meant that the day would soon change to night.

"My battle with that big bear took this long?"

Since their departure from the Gate Village, if Ars not mistaken, the time has not been right at noon.

"But now it's getting late."

Ars should hurry to the West Station before nightfall.

"I don't want to be in this creepy forest at night."

The evenings in the depths of the Giant Leaf Woods are truly terrifying. You can hear a lot of strange screams coming from anywhere. Ars is as strong as he is now, but facing something that is not seen, is really horror.

While jumping from branch to branch, Ars imagined spending the night in the forest. "Feeling that horror outside the room, hiiii." Ars got goosebumps.

Ars jumping from tree to tree - like the ninja characters from the famous anime series- far to the direction where the sun is setting. But there is still no sign that he is near to West Station.

Suddenly, he was in the open air, about 300 meters in front of him. There is no tree he could step on. Which means,

"Ngeaaaaaaaaahhh! Super Hero Landing!"

He fell 50 meters to the surface in a pose like a superhero who came down to earth.

Bonk!

But unfortunately, his Super Hero Landing made his left knee land on a very hard object.

"Aaaaaaaaaawww!" Holding his left knee, he fell again, this time to the ground. "Ugh!"

He can't stop holding his left knee. The pain is so painful that it made difficult for him to breathe.

"Fuuuuuuck! Just, why!?"

Why aren't there trees within a 300 meter radius around that area? Why can he land on an object that is harder than a rock? Why did that happen to him?

"Who is there?!"

An old man who came with a sword and shield could answer all Ars' questions.

"You! What are you doing here!?"

"Can you please help me first? I'm feeling pain that I've never felt in my life right now?"

The old man only saw Ars trying to get up. Then he looked at the black object behind Ars.

"From all over the place, why did the Hero Landing you did just land you on that World Stone?"

"S - shut up!"

The Super Hero Landing that Ars did before was a spontaneous stunt that any man would have done.

"By the way! World Stone? Is this fking thing where I landed earlier?"

Ars standing and immediately turned around. Then looked at the large, rectangular rock three meters high.

"Wth?"
